Orting in PicturesThis photograph is the left half of a panorama showing the view towards the
southeast from the proposed site of the new high school. (The right half of the panorama
can be seen on page five.) This panorama was taken from just off the lower-left corner of
the aerial photograph on page one and presents a ground's-eye view of the same scene. The
snow-covered cone of Mount Rainier dominates the distant skyline. The houses in the middle
distance are on the outskirts of Orting. The slope at left is the north wall of the
Carbon-Puyallup River valley. The top of the slope is about 100 meters above the valley
floor.Photo: Dr. Stephen M. Pompea, Pompea & Associates.
